,just my opinion,with ground a little softer than normal,he gave plenty of ground away from start too 3 furlong out,against top of the ground horses on a firmer surface he may not have got away with it? With the speed he had shown it was a very confident ride,so many positives for us to take in,I think he was ridden to preserve the horse for future events,but he had to make plenty of ground up and be well ridden in the final furlong to stop him from idoling,he is a brilliant racehorse and the confidence in the horse plain to see.Just a pity the ratings will not yet show how good he is yet,possibly with such a large crowd of very good middle distant horses around this generation?
